Special thanks to the lovely people over at Murchinson-Hume, for sending some of their amazing products my way after reading about my strong preference for liquid hand soaps. Thanks also to Random House for sending me The Butler's Guide. This book will no doubt be a useful resource to me this season. I need all the organizational household tips and help I can get since we celebrate both Christmas and Chanukah. Speaking of which, Chanukah starts tomorrow evening! I've got less than 48 hours to find our Menorah, buy some candles and basically whip up some Festival of Lights magic. In our house, this tradition includes Latkes (see my recipe here) Chanukah books (this one is weirdly funny and this one is very cute for young children) and lots of presents (three children times eight nights!) And, then we gear up for Christmas...
